First of all, the Supreme Court in 1916 determined that the 16th Amendment did not change a thing concerning the methods of taxation outlined in Article I of the United States Constitution. The 16th failed to repeal Section 2 Clause 3, Section 9 Clause 4, and Section 8 Clause 1. Thus, the Constitution as written remained in effect and no citizen earning income domestically can be directly taxes.
Supporting this is the fact that IRS Publication 515 states that an employer is to not withhold any taxes unless it can be shown the individual is an alien to this country. Why is that? Quite simply because the IRS knows the 16th Amendment did not authorize direct personal income taxes.
The 1040 is the form aliens use to file and pay any taxes due - it is not a form for any American citizen to file personal income taxes. Only one form does - Form 2555. It is the form to be used by any American citizen earning an income from a foreign source, the only type of income an American citizen is Constitutionally required to pay excise (erroneously called income) taxes on.
Every American citizen who has ever lost anything to the IRS should be rebated with interest earned and the IRS disbanded as it is conducting a government-sponsored theft ring although it gets back with it with fancy wording and allowing people to perjure themselves.
Citizens of this nation must insist on their Constitutional God-given rights, and not quake in fear of the government and the IRS. This is our county!
Our rights are being taken away by the government through forceful agencies, such as the IRS, and legislation by legislators who don’t care about the Constitution nor the people of the country.
We have been misled long enough. Write, call, hound your legislators to death and get the Constitution back in force. And that will, of course, include absolutely no false requirement for personal income taxes.
To reiterate, no citizen of the 50 States whose earnings are in the 50 states is liable for any form of direct taxation by the government. It is unconstitutional. Your government is cheating you.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is actually ‘the big deal’.
